Voter Suppression--- We knew the demographics in this country were changing over a decade ago and that all the Repubs had in their tool bag was voter suppression tactics to hang on to the end.
Drowning the Gov in a bathtub:
"I just want to shrink it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub".
Grover Norquist said that years ago and now has 95 percent of the Republican critters in his pocket.
None of this is surprising to me----- this has been their playbook for years.... and now they are going at it ---all cards in!

Before the Civil Rights Act (thank god for Lyndon Johnson) the bigots simply found ways to deny the vote, now they suppress it - same thing, same people, different time.
